~3 NEW BANDS . . . THE MEN, MILK MUSIC & JAPANDROIDS

After ODing on swoon-pop home recordings for the last few years, I recently returned to some new thrashing guitar bands. Foremost amongst these new groups is a Brooklyn band – THE MEN, whose new album, ‘Open Your Heart’ is buzzing.

Next comes JAPANDROIDS a two piece band out of VANCOUVER, B.C. that has been banging for a couple of years.

And finally newcomers MILK MUSIC slowly roaring out of OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON – the Williamsburg of the West Coast, home to BUILT TO SPILL.
